Jazz quartet Bob Albanese and Cafe Simpatico staged a concert in Sofia National Palace of Culture on the eve of Independence Day, July 4. On Saturday, they will perform in Bulgaria's second-biggest city of Plovdiv.

The jazz concerts are dedicated to the 100th anniversary since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bulgaria and the United States and Independence Day, which is also the national holiday of the United States.

Latin jazz quartet Bob Albanese and Cafe Simpatico includes Bob Albanese (piano), Jay Collins (flute and saxaphone), David Meade (drums), and Eric Stiller (bass).

The concert in Bulgaria is part of their six-week tour in Eastern Europe under a project, organized jointly by the US State Department and Washington's Kennedy Centre. The project, called Jazz Ambassadors, has been going on for six years already and aims to bring to music communities around the world the best of US jazz.
